Akopov proposed creating a registry of Internet broadcasters. "We need a registry of organizations that consider
themselves legal broadcasters of audio-video content on the Internet. And then it's very simple - if someone hasn't registered,
they are simply blocked, along with all the mirrors,"
he explained.

The importance of competition among companies
managing collective copyrights was emphasized by the head
of the film company STV Sergey Selyanov, however, collective list of bahrain cell phone numbers copyrights do
not make sense for all forms
of media. "We, the creators of films, do not need collective rights management
at all , we do not need them," he emphasized.



At the same time, Selyanov is still convinced that creating a registry could
be a good idea, if implemented correctly.

"I don't understand why commercial organizations for rights management are needed? We need non-profit organizations and competition between them so that they do their job well. If it is a commercial organization, then there is already some kind of flaw.
<p>I am not against the registry, if a mechanism for working with violators of rights is immediately worked out. So that immediately after the violation, they are prohibited from operating, and preferably forever. Without this, I do not see the point of the registry. I also do not understand whether I will have to pay for this? And, in my opinion, there is speculation on orphan works. In my opinion, the idea of ​​the registry is correct. But there are still many questions about the details"

According to
Leonid Agronov, CEO of the National Federation of Music Industry,
the copyright registry must meet three requirements. First, it must be truthful; the information it contains about copyright holders must be truthful and up-to-date. Second, it must
be free, at least for the authors who enter their works into this registry.

"The registration fee,
at least in Russia, discourages many from registering their
works," Agronov explained. In addition, one can already see examples of
accessible content registration programs that authors are happy to use,
such as Yandex. Music or YouTube, he emphasized.
